Let's Ride Posted September 5, 2012 Share Looks to be his. Bike fit looks good (left leg extension). Old model bike (can get bicycles for next to nothing of the hub). Just ask him some simple questions: Hey bro, I wanna get a bike like that, commuting to work by bicycle must be so fun. Which shop would you suggest... I commute daily and sometimes on my fancy bike while I have a backpack on, ask me a few questions and you will know it's not stolen.

Why, are you simply judging him by his skin colour??? Come on man. So when I drive my car in my PJ's and you happen to see me will you also take a photo of me?

Breezer Posted September 5, 2012 Share The bike is fitted with Sora shifters. Can not b e to expensive. Or it was bought at Neil's Wheels after a part swop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capcha Posted September 5, 2012 Share Nah dude. Its his bike. Prob bought it 2nd hand for like 2 or 3K. The guys sock on trouser should have given it away that his been a cyclist for a while. Dude seems OK. Think u started this fire with a petrol bomb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decapod_Crew Posted September 5, 2012 Share so from thinking that i might be helping someone find their stolen bike to being accused of having a problem with skin colour (@Let's Ride)i realise that i am obviously wasting my time with this. hope the owner reads this. even if it is the guy in the picture on his commuter bike (@ Let's Ride) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camerons Posted September 5, 2012 Share Why should he not ride a bike like that? Why assume it is stolen? I am curious too? Looks like a dude on his way to work riding a fairly ordinary old road bike. It not like it is a hobo on a Dogma. Barker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Li Mu Bai Posted September 5, 2012 Share innocent till proven guilty, right? if i see him, i'll ask him. if he has no answers and speeds off, it's probably a good sign it was stolen...Might not be stolen. Why not offer him R500 with a story that you have been looking for that exact bike for years. Then at least you have the thing and can return it to its rightful owner if he turns up for your R500 back. If you dont ever find the owner, and the local cops have nothing reported missing, then you have a bike to sell (probably get more than R500) If its not stolen he will know its value and tell you to pi$$ off.

Falco Posted September 5, 2012 Share Why assume that it is stolen I agree.I've never been one to defend our darker brethren, but this looks like an average working Joe going about his business on a oldish bike that he could well have bought with his own hard earned bucks.

Decapod_Crew Posted September 5, 2012 Share as per 2nd post ....."or maybe not, i don't know".... if any one knows the area, i only assumed it might be stolen because of the area, and it is out of place in an area where 2k - 3k is 3 full months wages. he might be the captain of the local cycling club...a member of BEN...i dont know...and i will approach him, and ask. if he tells me to **** off. good for him....and we'll never know the real story.
